Does anyone know what is going on with the Memorial Day Regatta in Hurricane Gulch CA this coming weekend? I am interested in attending but all my attempts at contacting anyone who knows whats going on have come up empty. I can't wait to get out there and race but I need to know where to go and figure out a place to stay down there.

Here's an email that's been going around the division. Any questions, feel free to contact me directly and I'll try to put you in touch with someone. Hope to see you on the water...

With that said there will be class starts for the A-Cats, Formula 18 Class (Hobie Tiger, Nacra F18, ect), Hobie 16 A, Hobie 16 B (provided that 5 boats register as 16 B otherwise they will be started with the 16 A class) and possibly Hobie 20s should 5 boats register.
